Herring's, cod,

Herrings were again scarce in the Kyles. 

 Results about the same as in 1910. 



Small-line fishing was unsuccessfully pursu ed. 

 Decrease in quantity and value. 



Mackerel fishing was attended with much 

 success in these lochs, and the quantity 

 caught is in excess of that of any previous 

 year. Returns on the whole almost similar 

 to figures of 1910. 



The fisheries at these creeks are now un- 

 important. 



Only one pair of seine-net crews fitted out 

 from this creek for herring fishing, and 

 they earned £1,200. 



The returns for this area are both in quantity 

 and value about 50 per cent, less than those 

 of preceding year, owing entirely to the 

 partial failure of the herring fishing 

 obtained off the S.E of Arran. Lobster 

 fishing is carried on by local fishers.

 landed. 



Fishing of very little consequence.
